DEADLINE

So I know some of you are having a hard time with the portfolio and running into some issues.  I also forgot you guys have reviews tomorrow.  SO, since I'm a nice guy, the deadline for portfolio and CD is until Friday at 5pm in our classroom. 


This leaves Thursday's class at 6pm a little more open for anyone having problems.  During class I can help anyone who wants to print, needs help with inDesign or anything else.  


Those of you in the Tuesday class are more than welcome to come to class tomorrow night for help. 


To those who have already completed or have worked very hard to meet the originally scheduled deadlines, I greatly appreciate it and thank you for working so hard. 

CD/DVD SUBMISSION

READ ALL OF THIS POST AND THE ONE AFTER!!!


You will need a CD or DVD with all of your work on it submitted by Thursday to ME or in a place I designate. 

I've told you that you will need all of your files for submission since the beginning of the semester so this shouldn't come as a surprise, and you should have all your files for the portfolio anyways.  

The CD/DVD!
 
1. Create a folder for each assignment.
2. Properly label each assignment with their corresponding file.
 
Example:
                Folder >
                                000_Portfolio
                                001_Assignment
                                002_Assignment
                                                >Files in Assignment folder >
                                                                02.01_FirstNameInitialLastName_dCollage_A.psd
                                                                02.02_FirstNameInitialLastName_dCollage_B.psd
                                                                02.03_FirstNameInitialLastName_dCollage_A.jpg
                                                                02.04_FirstNameInitialLastName_dCollage_B.jpg

What should I burn these files to?
Burn the files to either a CD or DVD.
 
When is the CD/DVD due?
It is due on April 28th.
 
How do label the CD/DVD?
With a marker, write your name, ARCH 1353, and your instructor
 
Does the CD/DVD need to be in a protective sleeve?
Yes
 
If I don't turn in a CD/DVD, does it count against my grade?
Yes
 
What happens if I don't turn in my CD/DVD?
You do not get your grade.
 
What if I'm missing work and cannot put all of the files on the CD/DVD as requested?
Then you need to complete the work. Chances are you're missing the work so just get it done and it will be on the CD/DVD. If for some reason your computer crashed during the semester, you should've made a backup.
 
What if I'm sick and cannot turn in the Portfolio and CD/DVD on the due date?
You are require to submit a doctor's note along with your material. If not, then it will be counted as late.
 
What is the absolute last date to turn everything in and still receive credit, yet be counted off for late submission of the Portfolio and CD/DVD?
The absolute late date is May 3rd.
 
GOOD LUCK!!!

TUESDAY APRIL 26th CLASS

The deadline for the portfolio submission has been extended to Thursday April 28th.  This mainly only deals with the Tuesday class, but allows today's class to be reserved for anyone that needs printing, binding or portfolio help, so any one in my two sections are welcome to come and have my help. 


Tuesday class needs to come tonight.  You have to fill out evaluations, sorry. 

Portfolio Example and Template

Below is an example portfolio I assembled to give you an idea of what can be expected.  I have emailed you a template that you will follow.  If you did not get my email or the template please let me know.

Lecture Today

Today as class we will be attending the lecture by Michael Rotondi.

Lecture starts at 5:30 in BA LH202

For more information here's the page on the TTU COA website: CLICK HERE

We will be coming back to class after the lecture!

Exercise 05

Here are some layout examples I did to give you guys some ideas on how to put together an interesting layout.  There is a general layout example on the class website under assignment 5.

Portrait may be a good choice you, depending on what you want to show, the extention lines here are present in the transformations. Technically, I don't believe you have to include them on this layout but I believe it may add some more visual quality to part 2.  If you do include, you may want to show them on the geometry as well

Here, I added a background change from the supplemental information of the paths ect to the hierarchical final transformations.  This can be a good tool to help divide a layout into component pieces and add some variety as well as emphasize or de-emphasize certain aspects of your layout
